Alternatively, with just the three-semester calculus sequence, the author has nevermanaged to finish covering all the topics in the syllabus for multivariable calculus.The description of calculus courses from the Columbia University Bulletin 1969, ColumbiaUniversity, Department of Mathematics is given in Appendix I.The description of calculus courses in The University of Tulsa Department of Mathematics,extracted from the current online Undergraduate Bulletin, (http://utulsa.catalog.acalog.com/) isgiven in Appendix II.3.2 The University of Tulsa Department of Mathematics, 2016-2017As of 2017, The University of Tulsa Department of Mathematics uses ALEKS(https://www.aleks.com/), for mathematics course

considered for this study have avery long list of topics (syllabus) to cover and evaluate. Even in a traditional lecturing style notall topics are fully covered by the teacher; some topics are just mentioned and left for the studentto go over the material or to do exercises by themselves.Before this study, the main teaching strategy in all mathematics courses was a traditionalapproach. For this paper, traditional teaching means the main actor is the teacher by lecturingmost of the sessions with minimal or no participation from the students, and with a heavy use ofchalk and blackboard by the teacher. In a traditional class, the instructor explains the topic,solves some exercises, and asks students to solve some others. Then, homework is assigned
